Doug Rauch believes that all businesses have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world. As the former president of Trader Joe's and current CEO of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., he also understands that retail markets are both powerful economic drivers and crucial choice-based consumer outlets with the potential to change people's health and well-being.

Doug's current project uses one problem--wasted food--to combat another--hunger. The Daily Table, a retail-based project, built on the strengths of producers, growers, and manufacturers, will bring affordable, nutritious groceries and meals to food-insecure communities. In this inspiring one-hour talk, Doug will outline his market-based solution approach, discuss how his retail grocery background prepared him for his current projects, and show you how your company can do good and do well at the same time.
